The Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly in Alaska opens their meetings with a religious invocation. Last year, after a woman read a satanic invocation, the Assembly decided to implement rules dictating who would be allowed to give an invocation. Their rules state that the person must “represent a religious association approved by the Assembly that fits its guidelines”. For those with even a passing familiarity with the First Amendment, it should be obvious that attempting to defend this in court will be an enormous waste of taxpayer’s money.
